Accelerator pedal control system for road vehicle gives choice of accelerator characteristics, with reduced maximum power and linear increase in power from idle to maximum allowed power

摘要

The accelerator pedal (1) may be moved from its idle portion to its maximum position through an angle (alpha). A sensor on the pedal sends a signal (S Ped) to an engine (5) control system (2). The control system gives a choice of accelerator characteristics (4), with reduced maximum power and linear increase in power from idle to maximum allowed power. It receives a vehicle and engine load signal (P max) from the transmission or other user element (3). The control system outputs a control signal (S Ped, G) to a motor (7) moving an air throttle (6) and to fuel injectors (8) in the induction tract.
